Must be mate. Good excuse to drink beer all day though. Plus ive bought a wood polisher on ebay that i need to pick up from harpenden. Wont be doing it as much in the future if the bodge goes through. Getting too old for this shit.

Sorry to hear you've made a bodge of your wood polishing, isn't there some sort of online course you could do?

Definitely. It's the modern football effect isn't it. And this bodge won't help in the slightest. What's 100 million divided by 8000? £12,500 a seat. Thats just wrong surely. Especially when you look at the state of the Arthur and the Whitehorse. Makes me angry just thinking about it.

I am a little confused. What about the main stand redevelopment do you not like? The fact that it's costing more and some of it will be corporate?

I don't personally sit in the main stand but will certainly be considering a move to do so once there are more seats available. The main reason for not doing so this far is the fact that we couldn't get 7/8 together and the stand itself currently doesn't justify the cost.

Except for the Directors box I have been in our current main stand for friendlies and cup games and there is just not enough leg room. Ditto front half of the Arthur seats. Best view by far is the Upper H and I won't change my ST unless the new stand can offer something high and central enough. Will be interesting to see how we claw back credit card fees once ST prices announced. Just been stung a £10 admin fee by CityJet when they used to charge about £2.50 for CC fee but nothing for PayPal

Scro, i'm not going to hog this thread mate. I've listed my reasons ad infinitum on the stand development thread. I'll still make the trip but i'll just buy tickets off friends and people on the BBS. I won't pay towards a 2 class bodge of a stadium.

When Liverpool did their Main Stand, the back 2 rows were affected (I think?). Surely that isn't the hold-up?
(not in any rush, just curious)

Surely it's because they don't need the cash desperately so there's no need for an early bird offer. We'll pay full price to renew or lose our season ticket seats by, say, 1st May. After all, we're always being told by the wisdom of the BBS how little the revenue from ticketing means compared to television rights.
